Sofoxin 50mg Dry Syrup might interact with other medications or substances. It is important to consult your child's doctor before starting the treatment and inform them of any existing medications.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on Sofoxin 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally don't interfere with vaccines or cause negative reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it's recommended that the child not be vaccinated until they are fully recovered from their illness. Once your child feels better, a vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Sofoxin 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?

My child has yellow-green mucus coming out of their nose. Is this a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily mean a bacterial infection requires antibiotics. During a common cold, mucus often thickens and changes color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always lead to a secondary bacterial infection? When should I start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections don't follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections won't provide any benefit and could even cause side effects. Consult your child's doctor before prescribing antibiotics.
